'Bhrigu Samhita' is a well-known authentic hook of predictions.
which is said to have been writ­ten 7000 years ago. Smt. Indira Devi (Mataji)
of the Sai Yoga Centre of Tecate (Mexico) was born in Russia, learnt yoga in
India, U.S.A. acclaimed her as "the First Lady of Yoga," is the
author of many books on yoga and also "Sai Baba and Sai Yoga." She
had her life reading done from this famous book by Chayasastri, Shri Kantilal
Pandya, in March 1972,while she was passing through Bombay.

It mentioned correctly all the details about her life. One of the
lines read as: "During 1966-67 you came into contact with a Maha Purusha
due to merits of past lives. You are still under His influence." The
astrologer explained to her that 'Maha Purusha' meant God. Smt. Indira Devi has
written in an article in "The News Chronicle" of Ludhiana, that the
reading of the past happenings were accurate. She had first met Bhagavan in
1966 when she was 66 years of age, and had returned to Puttaparthi next year
when she was 67. From this she concludes that "if the book of Bhrigu
written in several milleniums ago was right in giving her age at the time when
she had met Bhagavan then it also should be right in referring to Him as Maha
Purusha."

The Bhrigu Samhita had also predicted that Indira Devi's husband,
Dr. Sigfrid Knauer, M.D., a famous consulting physician, would come under the
influence of the same Maha Purusha. She could not believe this because she knew
that her husband was a staunch Christian and an Anthroposophist. Later Dr.
Sigfrid Knauer travelled against medical advice to India to meet Bhagavan Baba
and seek cure of an intractable illness. Baba welcomed him with His compassionate
love and cured him. Speaking about this experience to a San Diego audience, the
doctor narrated how Baba treated him by materialising thirty three pills
(symbolising 313 vertebrae) and also by massaging his back with a sweet and
fragrant oil that exuded from Baba's palm. He went on to say, "In
gratitude I wanted to touch His feet, but, He did_ not let me do so."
Indira Devi, who was present during this entire episode was utterly bewildered
to see the transformation that had come about in her husband who at that moment
was so desperately try­ing to touch 'The Lotus Feet.'
